So shall my England, in a holy war, NO POISON'D TYRANTS ON THY EARTH SHALL LIVE. ON COLONEL BLOOD'S ATTEMPT TO STEAL When daring BLOOD, his rent to have regain'd, He chose the cassock, circinglo, and gown, This daring ruffian was notorious for seizing the person of the DUKE OF ORMOND, with an intention to hang him at Tyburn, and for stealing, the Crown out of the Tower. He was nearly successful in both these enterprises. The cunning of this fellow was equal to his intrepidity. He told the King, by whom he was examined, that he had undertaken to kill him; and that he went for that purpose to a place in the river where he bathed; but was struck with so profound an awe upon the sight of his (naked) Majesty, that his resolution failed him, and he entirely laid aside his design: that he belonged to a band of ruthians equally desperate with himself, who had bound themselves by the strongest oaths, to revenge the death of any of their associates. Upon which he received the royal pardon, and a handsome pension. He was no longer considered as an impudent criminal, but as a Court favou rite; and application was made to the throne, through the mediation of Mc. Blood. He died the 24th August, 1680.
